While they have us freaking out about “Ukraine,” our overlords are moving swiftly to rendition all of us into the global cyber-gulag of a social credit system, enabled by a digital currency doled out (or not) by the central banking system.
This report, from December, 2021, “assess[es] market opportunities for infrastructure support of the social credit market”—i.e., how to make a lot of money helping to set up that cyber-prison. Unless you’re reading it for “market opportunities,” you’re likely to be chilled by its dystopian implications.
One way to start fighting this development is to go back to using cash instead of cards as much as possible—starting with #CashFriday, as urged by Catherine Austin Fitts. This means that, every Friday, we use only cash to buy what we may need: https://home.solari.com/cash-friday/.
Think about what this development portends: No cash will mean no autonomy, as every purchase that you’ll want to make must be approved on high—approval that will be contingent on your social credit score.

No more illegal aliens standing around Home Depot waiting for work they do not pay taxes for.
So, there is that. But I still do not want cashless society.
Black markets have flourished for millennia. They will continue to flourish. It's easy to make predictions - and a lot harder to face the music when they are wrong.
Illegals will get paid in prepaid credit cards ,LOL
I’m getting to the cashless point with these inflated prices of everything.
Social credit and cashless are not the same thing. Conflating them is lying.
And cashless is coming. You just gotta deal. It’s a natural evolution, we always move to the convenient. Yes it has downsides, like all things. But for the majority of the market it’s easier. And that’s why it wins.
Which can still be tracked.
In olden days, postage stamps could pay for some purchases.
The cashless life means total and complete government control over all your assets. This is in keeping with the goal of the statists to eliminate private property and to make the collectivity the only owner of everything and anything.
Government will know at every instant how much you have, where it came from, and what you spend it on. It will then “redistribute” it as it wishes.
When they eliminate cash as legal tender, it’s all over.
They will do this. Sooner if democrats are in the White House.
Every word you say there is true. The Globalists Elite are salivating as we speak. You will obey or they will freeze your assets and you will starve and be homeless.
Yes it has downsides, like all things
It’s easier for the banks or financial institutions to skim, even two cents on a dollar transaction, and you won’t even notice. And the pennies add up.
I’m not arguing that it’s not coming, for it certainly is.
But to be “for it” shows fascist tendencies.
Power in the hands of evil corrupt people costs much more than “convenience”.
To be against it is to rail against the wind. Old man yelling at clouds. Pointless. Better to plan how you’ll live with it.
And of course, Control. You are trying to complete a transaction that someone doesn’t approve, like buying a gun, buying anything, donating to FR, and then your transaction is blocked.
In Iron Curtain E. Europe they would only take Kent cigarettes.
Tom Mutton, a director at the Bank of England, said during a conference on Monday that programming could become a key feature of any future central bank digital currency, in which the money would be programmed to be released only when something happened.
He said: “You could introduce programmability - what happens if one of the participants in a transaction puts a restriction on [future use of the money]?
“There could be some socially beneficial outcomes from that, preventing activity which is seen to be socially harmful in some way. But at the same time it could be a restriction on people’s freedoms.”
He warned that the Government would be required to intervene and make the final decision.
Mr Mutton said: “That is a really delicate debate that needs to be had. It is not something we can settle ourselves, that is for the Government to lead on.”
A digital currency could make payments faster, cheaper and safer, but also opens up new technological possibilities, including programming: effectively allowing a party in a transaction, such as the state or an employer, to control how the money is spent by the recipient.
Which can still be tracked.
but Dems don’t care about Illegals
DOESN’T MATTER.
Cashless is coming. Cashless is basically here. All your whining is pointless.
